Probably the partition you are trying to mount is bigger than 1gb or it has cluster of 32kb. I suggest you to NOT USE such partition, you can trash a lot of your filesystem. Avoid to mount it, and if it is set in the /etc/fstab remove the entry or use the noauto setting. If you want to use msdos fs with FreeBSD you must use partition that use clusters of 16kb or less. I have no problems at all with those, while I have trashed a lot of times my Hd using dos partition with clusters of 32kb :-) Regards... +-------------------------------------+--------------------+ | Internet: gmarco@masternet.it | ,,, | | Internet: gmarco@fi.nettuno.it | (o o) | | http://www2.masternet.it/~gmarco | ---oo0-(_)-0oo--- | | http://www2.masternet.it/ | Gianmarco | +-------------------------------------+--------------------+
